They are some great up close shots of these watches.  The Speedmaster Pro moon phase looks really amazing in macro like that.  I had not seen the bracelet and clasp in detail before. You can see the "new" screwed link system in your shots.  The bracelet clasp has added feature to it as well.

Interestingly the Apollo Soyuz in your shots does not appear to have the new style bracelet which in the press kits (IIRC) it is advertised as having.  I recall reading a post somewhere from someone who bought one and was disappointed it had a conventional pin and sleeve bracelet.

In answer to your questions I like them all but would buy either of the speedmasters if funds permitted.

Regards,

Zac

Three Interesting 'Black & White' Models of 2010 Collection

 
 By: Kong : November 9th, 2010-21:19
Besides the well-liked Plongeur Professional 1200 , three other models which I think are quite interesting in the OMEGA 2010 collections with black or white dials - the Speedmaster Professional Moonphase Chronograph with blackened Aventurine dial, the Spe...  

There are 2 of them...

I would like 2 of them... The one with the meteorite dial is an extraordinary piece. But as I am a lover of red gold and enamel dials the doctor chronograph is a watch to go for ! What is the diameter of the gold chrono? kind regards Erich

The gold M.D's chrono is ...

The Speedies are great, but seeing as I already have a standard issue 3570.50, that chrono would be just fantastic to own.

Thanks for putting them under the light again ... with those details on the dial im thinking how some changes of materials and colors and take the watch from nice looking to beautiful looking . The open back also shows another beauty of Omegas movement wo... 

If I was a doctor I would certainly get one of those Pulsometers

I think taking the pulse with a watch like that justifies a $1000 appointment. LOL! As I’m no doctor, I’d stick with the gorgeous Aventurine dial. Regards, Marcelo

I noticed something about the moonphase

That I hadn't noticed before, the new style buckle. I wonder if this heralds changes to come... I really like the dial of that one, it's less "exciting" than the meteorite, but I think i actually like it better A

Nice watches.

The meteorite Speedmaster looks nice. And the two register chrono looks stunning. We've been seeing lately some models, from different brands, with this type of dial (AP, Montblanc, Breguet). This Omega looks gorgeous. The dial hands combo look great. Lov... 

Does the Adventurine bezel match the dial in sparkliness?

 
 By: cazalea : November 10th, 2010-10:00
The bezel looks flawed but is that because it's the same material as the dial? Mike

Beautiful Chronos!

I especially like the doctor's chrono; clean white dial and well balanced sub-dials; and the eye catching extra long hammer-head pushers!

i would love the meteorite dial, but have reservations about the museum piece

 
 By: G99 : November 11th, 2010-14:23
they've already done the 1945 officers chronograph in 2003 which had pulsations on it as well as a tachy and telemetre so this new one is a bit too much like that for my liking. i faithfully collected every museum piece up until 2005, but lost faith in th... 

Three nice pieces...

The meteorite dial is my favourite. Thanks for the photos. Regards, Richard.

The moonphase looks nice although I prefer the older, simpler versions.

 
 By: Ruckdee : November 14th, 2010-07:49
I wonder what secret that new thick clasp may hold. A Ploprof-like sliding adjustment? Your first pic includes a blurred view of the inside of the clasp in the background. And the clasp shot shows visible scratches in the center of the link nearest to the... 

Nice ones
